PS fun fact: the '3 Body Problem' novel (published in 2008, English translation 2014) actually inspired Peter Todd and I to write this journal paper about the evolutionary psychology of extraterrestrial intelligence, and why 'active messaging' to ETIs (as Ye Wenjie did) is one of the worst ideas in the history of bad ideas.

Thanks to the wonderful organizers of #ISHE2022 creating a welcoming environment and great social programs, and all the speaker to make the conference inspiring. See you on the next ISHE!
Very diverse topics at #ishe2022, from evolution of understanding emotions on faces, to why people living in a well maintained environment are less stressed.
